DO NOT FEAR GERMANY


Posted by isport

Liverpool defender Daniel Agger has said that England need not fear about the possibility of facing Germany in the semifinals of the Euro 2012. There is every chance that England could face Germany in the semifinals of the competition.

England will be facing Italy in the quarter-final stage, while Germany will be up against a Greece said who were certainly not expected to reach this stage of the competition. Even though the match against Italy will certainly be tough for the English, the Liverpool defender Daniel Agger expects Roy Hodgson's men to progress to the semifinals of the competition.
It has been a very tough tournament for the English, but they have come through a very difficult group as the winners.

Daniel Agger has said that one of the main strengths of Germany is their attacking talent. Due to the movement of the strikers, it is extremely difficult to play against them and not concede any goal. However, the defence is also not one of their strongest aspects of the game and Daniel Agger sees Germany conceding a number of goals if they come against a top quality opposition like England. Daniel Agger's Denmark lost 2-1 to Germany in the group match.

“Germany were the best team in our group when they had the ball, but we felt we had a chance against their defence. Their front three don’t stay in one position. They’re constantly changing sides and running into new positions. But I play against strikers of that quality, like Luis Suarez, every week in the Premier League and so do the England players,” said Daniel Agger after Denmark's exit from the competition in the group stages. Despite not having great expectations, Denmark managed to perform well in the group stages and finish above one of the favourites Netherlands.
